Hot Plates Both the boiling plate (626° F) and simmering plate (392° F) are a generous 14 ½” wide, easily accommodating extra-large pans and multiple saucepans.

Both simmering and boiling plates are 14 ½" in diameter
AGA Total Control Range Cooker• 5 the 10 cooking methods
Hot Plates
Boil - Water boils rapidly on an AGA, and the 14 ½" boiling plate can accommodate multiple pans. Grill - Cook succulent steaks and chops on the boiling plate in the special cast-iron grill pan. Fierce heat sears the outside of the meat, sealing in flavor and juices while cooking the inside to perfection. Fry - Create fried or sautéed chicken that’s crispier on the outside and moist on the inside. Simmer - The simmering plate’s gentle heat is perfect for making sauces and soups. Stir Fry - For Asian cooking and fast stir fry, use the AGA wok on the boiling plate. Toast - Using the special wire toaster, make toast crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Toast sandwiches directly on the simmering plate.
Ovens
Roast - AGA roasts are superb. Shrinkage is reduced because there are no flames or elements to dry out the meat. Steam - In the slow cook oven, steam a sponge pudding to perfection. Steaming vegetables locks in their full flavor and nutrients. Bake - Like a traditional baker’s brick oven, the AGA roasting and baking ovens provide all-around, consistent heat to create feathery pastries, moist cakes, and perfectly baked breads. Slow Cook - Gentle, persistent heat helps you create richer, juicier casseroles, stews, and slow roasting or braising cuts of meat.

Ogilvy Book - CANADA LAUNCH.indd 13 1/5/2012 4:52:04 PM The AGA Heritage With a history stretching back 300 years, but technology absolutely right for modern living, the AGA is a range cooker that charms and stirs devoted affection. The AGA has an extraordinary history. Each AGA range cooker is made at the historic Coalbrookdale foundry in England, a United Nations designated World Heritage Site. The Industrial Revolution began on this site in 1709 when Abraham Darby first used a new smelting process to manufacture cooking pots – just like the ones AGA still makes there today. For over 300 years our craftsmanship has been recognized throughout the world. Now part of AGA Rangemaster PLC, it is one of the few remaining cast iron foundries in the UK. The AGA Cooker was invented by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Gustaf Dalen, a world renowned Swedish physicist. Confined to his home after a failed experiment cost him his sight, Dalen was inspired to create a better, simpler, more efficient cooker for his wife Elma, who constantly had to tend to their old-fashioned stove. Dalen was determined to develop a cooker capable of every culinary technique which was easy to use and that guaranteed perfect results. The now famous AGA was born. In 1932 manufacturing also began in Britain. Today the AGA is solely made at the famous Coalbrookdale location in Shropshire, England. The AGA is more than a range cooker; it’s a way of life. Owners tell us their AGA adds heart and soul to their home. It’s impossible to think of any other household appliance that inspires such a level of loyalty and devotion and has such emotional resonance with owners. It is, without a doubt, simply a better way to cook.
“During my career in advertising, I have sold scores of good products—all the way from IBM computers to Rolls Royce cars. The AGA cooker is the best of them all. I have been cooking on one ever since I graduated from the kitchens of the Hotel Majestic in Paris. I could not live without it.” – David Ogilvy, known as the King of Madison Avenue and the inspiration for the series Mad Men
